Back From the Wilderness

by Seventh Saint

/
1.
Never felt so lonely Can’t hide anymore Played it out so many times Always plays out same as before Never ends up happy But neither is it sad Not really that good But never that bad But there’s a beacon on a dark line Constant to all who can see With its light reaching out Reaching out to you and me And just when it seems it’s over Someone’s there to bring you round A calming voice to move you on Sees you saved before you’re found But it’s all right Yeah, it’s all right As it always needs to be Cause it’s all right Yeah it’s all right If not for them then maybe me And who can say what we’ll make of this On our path back from the wilderness

Just another false prophet They seem to come and go Another discount operator Who never had to go so low …in his life Don’t need another false prophet Whose words deliver nothing much Another snake-oil salesman Not sure what’s all the fuss …with this guy Just another Just another Just another, oh yeah Just another Just another Just another, oh yeah

Centred 07:14
Can’t say what’s right or wrong anymore Once was disorder but now it’s their law Can’t say what’s blurred or clear anymore Once a ceiling but now it’s my floor (I’m feeling) Too tired for what’s to be done Too confused as one became none Caught in a crossfire as soon as we entered No thoughts on how to get back to the centre Can’t say what’s right or wrong anymore Once common men but now we’re all lords Can’t say what’s blurred or clear anymore Once an honour, now just a fraud

Oh Why 05:12
Oh Kim, why Don’t you know? Thought you knew Oh Kim, why Oh Kim, why Don’t they know? Thought they did Oh Kim, why Maybe someone’s gotta tell him Maybe someone should try Maybe someone’s gotta tell him Maybe someone should try Oh Kim, why Why Kim, why But maybe it’s not your time Did that ever cross your mind?

Pyongyang 01:16
Some don’t play fair They never really do Cause they’ll always say They don’t like me or you But from time to time The world receives a sign Justifies an action To resist your kind So if you can’t play fair Like you never do Then don’t try and blame Anyone other than you Cause from time to time The world reacts to a sign Need to call it out Don’t need your kind
6.
So the news is out Across the land An emperor’s dead Some take the stand But vox pop counts Show what we knew There’s way more idiots Then just the known few Gotta keep moving After so many years of being raped and pillaged Who’s the last sane son of a gun to leave their village? Gotta keep moving Gotta keep on moving Gotta keep moving Gotta keep on moving After so many years of being raped and pillaged Who’s the last sane son of a gun to leave their village? Gotta keep moving Keep on moving

Zeitgeist 06:02
You and I know there’s a final point to all of this It’s not that hard to feign a Judas kiss Now if you think you can extend your time Then what you fear most is what you’ll find Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you You and I know there’s a final point to all of this Never been hard to receive a Judas kiss And if you think you can outrun this crowd They’ll soon let you know that’s not allowed As they wait for you Waiting for you Waiting for you Now if you think you can extend your time Then what you fear most is what you’ll find Waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you

A Mob Turn 06:40
So whatever is your worry Whatever’s got you concerned Just make sure you hurry Outplay the mob before they turn So whatever is your worry Whatever has you concerned Just make sure you hurry And outrun the mob before it turns Sorry’s now a weak word Much weaker than any other Sorry’s got no meaning here Brothers up against brother But play it safe Don’t you worry Now don’t be late You need to hurry
9.
Coma 04:37
And where there’s hope We might find some light Someone to trust Or a less anxious night You return like a comet In a show not so bright But now and then It all happens again You Me Now I don’t know And did you ever miss that scene Or maybe just once know what I mean You Me Now I don’t know
10.
Endlessness 06:27
A time long gone Hidden by doubt A cool breeze In from the south And a day lingers Like no other before Time stands still Makes us want more A light blue sky Seven-four-seven trail Now’s a good a time As any to set sail Who stands anxious in the masses of indifference? Maybe the same one who gets to end the endlessness And so it goes on and on…..

about

Seventh Saint Australia

Seventh Saint’s songs to date
(circa 2020’s) reflect the political
and social ramifications of current world happenings – songs trying to capture what their ongoing ‘observing earth’ series depict – socio-political life during the new millennium.
Seventh Saint appreciates that the world’s shifted a little on its axis of late and that to tilt back to where we once were might not be possible
